New Borderlands DLC Hinted At In Files
Thought we’d seen the last of Borderlands DLC? Think again. An enterprising PC user
recently dug into a folder in the 1.31 patch and discovered some
interesting clues about the still-unannounced DLC, including
references to 21 new missions and some new characters.
"There are a few things there," Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford told IGN. "But I think it's like reading a draft of a script for a movie that hasn't even been announced yet, let alone launched - yeah you might learn something, but it's not the real thing and it could just drive you crazy thinking about it."
Pitchford gave props to the community for their investigative skills and enthusiasm. "Seeing that this happened does make me want to hide some super juicy secrets in the DLC, though,” he said. “If we do, we'll be sure to hide them really good, though, so it takes more than a day to find them.”
If you're a fan of Claptrap, this mysterious download might be right up your alley. Text in the file alludes to several missions that are focused on the scrappy bots, and other details hit at several new models. Interesting stuff.
